MIS- HARRIET Mr.. e. ?' A. wIBIRr, Assistant
1t is evident from this that East Aurora Is In
dead earnest with her baby boom, although IL Is
impossible to understand how Mister Wloirt
managed to get the delegates that elected him
Assistant Superintendent Can 1t be possible that
they suppose that mere man, however giited,
can be equal to the duties OF such position!
We feel for Wibirt and the betting is ten to
one down here that he will be removed for in
competency before the show has well begun.
1t is believed that the parents of this metropolis
ore familiar with all the various brands OF DaDles
mentioned in the circular with the exception OIL
the "catchee catchee.o Perhaps the catchee
catchce Is indigenous to East Aurora ana never
found outside. But if it is q sound, sensible BABY
partial to going to sleep nights without being
walked with and looking upon cutting its teeth
as joke, there is no reason why there snouia
not be large export demand for it.
The means which East Aurora proposes TO en-
ploy in order to promote her boom are COM
that the white-winged angel Of impartiality Will
preside over the exercises it is announced that
three Buffalo ladies who are not acquainted
with any of the contestants will act as Judges"
Three prizes are to be awarded TO girls under one
year od-whether professional beauties are barred
is not stated. Boy babies are also cordially In
yitcd to compete, while the finest colorcd BABY
under three years old will be awarded a hand
some rocking chair. Interest In the circular
eliminates, not to say cCruscates, in the an
nouncement that the first prize for trlplets Is
"ten dollars in gold presented by Grover Cleve-
landn The attention OF David b. Hill is directed
to this circumstance we sure that he VIII
agree with MS that East Aurora is pretty likely
to be solid for Mr.. Cleveland next year against
all corners, although it is not impossible that the
Governor may conclude to send q consolation cup
to the unsuccessful competing triplets.
Those three Buffalo ladies are charged with
grave responsibility 1t would be manfestly i'm
proper for them to be guided solely or chiefly by
physical considerations in determining which are
the finest babies. Remembering that physical
beauty is only skin deep they will award the
rrizes-including the gold to the trplets-to the
ba bes that have the best record for moral con-
duct and whose intellectual bumps are the most
prominent If any other course is pursued the
parents of the babies that don't draw prize Will
be warranted in appealing from the decision OF
the three Buffalo ladies and proceeding in body
TO Washington 10 invoke justice at the hands Oh
